Michael faces a new foe in Detective Paxson (Moon Bloodgood), who has tracked down explosives Michael has been hiding in a storage facility; Michael and the team must rescue a kidnapped child by using reverse interrogation.
 
I'm looking forward to this episode. It looks like Paxson may be a pretty good nemesis for Weston.
 
Well then I'll be the first one to say that, even though there were some enjoyable bits and pieces, their con game to put one over on the bad guy was the most far-fetched and absurd one yet. Everything had to go just right. Granted, when you're beating the crap out of someone, it wouldn't be your first thought that he's actually the one in control. But the bad guy was still pretty gullible to blab like that.
 
I don't like the cop. Is she flirting or does she thinks she's all that? Michael could've killed her 5 different ways while she smirked, with Fiona tossing her knife at the male cop. She's supposed to scare him? A guy who jumped out of a helicopter two miles out over the ocean?

Funniest part was the guy Fiona got--his reaction to her last throw of the knife.

Loved the water saw. Loved Sam--as usual. Bruce Campbell is just great.
 
I thought it was pretty good. The birthday scene where Fionna gives Michael the bayonette was a great scene. It looks like Fi has not given up on their relationship!
 
The major plot was a tad rushed, I thought. It seemed like too many things could have gone wrong. But I liked the birthday party scene; that was a nice touch.

Don't care much for the lady cop; she just seems too cheesy--hardly a match for Michael and his crew. Next week's episode looks to have a GREAT foil, though, as our friend from the airfield is back.
 
Moon Bloodgood is way over the top here. I thought she was fine in Terminator: Salvation, but she acts almost as if she knows she's on a television show in this episode. The scheme was absurd--the foe had to be written as extremely stupid at certain points just so our heroes would survive. But Bruce Campbell was good, and as I mostly watch this show for some cheap thrills and scenes with Sam, I'll be generous and give it an average.
 
Sam saved this episode, all the way through. I especially loved the five pack of beer.

Lookin' forward to next week's episode. 'Dutch' is back as the baddie, which should be awesome.
 
I need to get a water saw! The episode was not bad but it is getting a bit boring nowadays. I hope next week's epi is better!

I don't think he was as stupid as much as he was paranoid. He wasn't used to the situation he is in so he was nervous and they were able to exploit that.

Agreed on Sam though, between him conning the guy and Donovan's performance as the drug addict, I really enjoyed the episode. With Dutch-boy back next episode, this looks great...preview is up on the site
